If a large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may
overheat and create a fire hazard. To
prevent this observe the following precautions and explain them to your

2. Do not run the engine while the car is at rest for a long time. Avoid running
the engine at fast idle for more than 10

tests must be made as rapidly as
possible. Remove the fuel pump relay before performing a compression test.
